Cleaning out My Closet

My wardrobe thinned out.

During the summer in New York I stopped into a boutique, just to "see" what they had. I left there with a a bundle of clothes, a hand bag and a toy for Presley. As I was driving home I was having a bit of buyers remorse. I didn't need anything when I went in why did I leave with so much? Then the thought, "I just went into look and see" popped into my mind. That thought is as silly as an alcoholic going into a bar to see what they serve.

I have used and enjoyed the stuff I bought (my hand bag handle broke) but don't really know if I needed any of it...

When I got home from New York this summer I began the task of unpacking our bags. While I was going back into my closet I took another look at the clothes I had left behind, wondering why I'm holding on to a lot of them. So without much thought I started tossing them into a pile to donate. The pile grew and grew. Before I knew it I had eight trash bags of clothes, shoes and hand bags.

After putting them all in a pile, I felt lighter and excited. I will replace some of the items (I need a proper winter coat) but I will stick with the philosophy of "in" product "out" product... Not the most exciting post, but maybe now you'll know why I have a four shirt rotation!
